Randall,
Thanks again for your kind words. Because of the geography, I know that is not a lenticular cloud. Mt. Baker is probably 60 miles NNW of that event. I would have to call that a secondary or inverted reaction to the orographic lift off Double Bluff, which makes your observation interesting. Double Bluff sits at the very North end of Puget Sound and gets a very consistent flow directly at it. It is only about 300+ feet in elevation. But because of it's location it can create a textbook example of what orographic lift is. Cliff Mass from the University of Washington did a blog about orographic lift a while ago and used my time lapse to demonstrate:

I have shared a few of my wind shear time lapses in the past that show the incredible convergence of winds that we have above us. Now.... I am a layman... NOT a meteorologist.... but this does appear to be an interaction with a lower level event (orographic lift) and the more consistent upper level "chaos" we have above us....
